IgA Nephropathy

Expert Care for Patients with IgA Nephropathy

At Nephrology Specialists of Oklahoma, our Kidney Care for Advanced Conditions Clinic is dedicated to caring for patients with advanced heart failure and liver cirrhosis. These conditions place unique stress on the kidneys, and our clinic focuses on preventing kidney injury and slowing progression of chronic kidney disease in this high-risk population.

What is IgA Nephropathy?

IgA nephropathy, also known as Berger’s disease, is a chronic kidney disorder caused by abnormal deposits of immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the kidneys. These deposits trigger inflammation and scarring, which can lead to protein in the urine, high blood pressure, and in some cases, chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. Because the disease progresses differently in every patient, specialized monitoring and tailored treatment are critical to protecting long-term kidney health.

Why Treatment Matters

There is currently no cure for IgA nephropathy, but medical advances are providing patients with more treatment options than ever before. Effective treatment can:

  • Slow disease progression.
  • Preserve kidney function.
  • Control blood pressure and proteinuria.
  • Enhance quality of life.

With the right care, many patients can delay or prevent the need for dialysis or transplant.
